Cuando supe que volvía a Estudiantes hace unos meses atrás, dije que no importaba cuanto durara este regreso y que solo quería disfrutar de la felicidad que me generaba estar de nuevo en Casa! LES JURO FUI FELIZ! Por volver a ver los ojos de mi vieja llenos de lágrimas antes de entrar a jugar. Por pisar el césped de "UNO". Por sentir el apoyo de las glorias de mi club. Por recibir enormes gestos de cariño y aliento de toda la familia pincharrata… Por vestir una vez más los colores de mi vida. Se que no alcanzó. Se que quizás estaré en deuda por no poder devolver tanto amor e incondicionalidad! Me toca despedirme, y me voy con el sueño atragantado, con un sabor agridulce, y masticando la bronca de saber que al esfuerzo y las ganas de volver les faltó el fútbol. Seguramente no sea momento de jurar ni prometer regresos, pero se que me voy más "pincha" que cuando llegué, porque este club me volvió a dar una lección de afecto y gratitud, y porque se que en el diccionario de Estudiantes los "sueños", la "lucha" y la "pertenencia" MANDAN! GRACIAS a mi familia GRACIAS Estudiantes HASTA PRONTO!

The 30-year-old made the journey to Argentina in January for a six-month loan deal owing to a lack of playing time, But due to an ankle injury and the coronavirus pandemic, the defender made just one appearance for the Argentine club.

According to Mirror, Rojo revealed that he has held talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer regarding his future at United and admitted he was keen to extend his stay with Estudiantes in Argentina.

Manchester United is looking ahead to a summer transfer window rebuild and the lack of quality and depth in the defence is an issue for the manager.

The Argentine fell down the pecking order at United. It is expected that the player would be asked to leave in the summer to free up funds.

MEN also reports that United tried to sell Rojo a couple of times and will let him leave if an appropriate offer knocks their doors.

The possible destination of the player’s future is currently unknown, as is the reason Manchester United has called him back but the Argentine is likely to see himself shipped out of Old Trafford.
